I live the simple life in the city of Glasgow. I write letters for the BBC for a living. Scribble with pencils. Enjoy a good bacon and avocado sandwich. I play some musical instruments. Bicycle gets me from to A to B (sometimes to X). Occasionally I read the first half of a book, very occasionally I finish one.
Things wot I like include drawing, the city, cycling, the radio (Radio 4/6music), nashi pears, dogs and cats, beer, indie pop and punk rock, the woods, jazz, tea, travelling, wildlife, Drew Weing - http://www.drewweing.com/ - rolling cigarettes and reading newspapers.
Kirsty Wark enthusiasts. Snake charmers. Hurdy-Gurdy players. Marine biologists. Political refugees. Zoo keepers. Filing clerks. Time travellers. Jarvis Cocker. Children's television presenters. Red heads. People who were brought up by wolves. Spores mould and fungus collectors. Orchestra conductors. Talking cats. Anyone i've lost contact with.
The Smiths. Scott Walker. The White Stripes. Dogs Die in Hot Cars. Polar Bear. The Beta Band. The Beatles. Relaxed Muscle. Gorillaz. The Evens. The Modern Lovers. Mull Historical Society.
